DRAFT Report on Internet Exposition BoF in Singapore
----------------------------------------------------
The BoF session on the Internet 1996 World Exposition was held during APNG
Meetings in Singapore, 1996.1.22-24. Over 30 people attended the session.
See the attendee list in Appendix 1. The BoF session followed the panel
session on the previous day on the same topic with the following program.
Panel Session on Internet Exposition
Kilnam Chon Chairing and overview of the expo
Jun Murai Japanese participation
James Lee Taiwanese participation
Marc Tan Singaporean participation
In addition, we had the presentations of J. Olpoc on government
home page development of Philippines and Cambodia, and Xu Rongsheng
on China-Window development.
BoF Session on Internet Exposition
Regional Updates
Coordination Issues
We had the regional updates of the following regions/countries;
Brunei, China, Indonesia, (Japan), Korean, (Taiwan), Philippines,
Thailand, Sri Lanka, Hong Kong, "More on Asia"/AIT, Cambodia, Lao,
Vietnam.
Several countries decided to join the exposition, and many are ready for the
main pavilions, which are based on their country/regional home page. They are
Brunei, Cambodia, and Vietnam in addition to Indonesia and Philippines. We
decided to form the regional pavilion groups, called "More on Asia", which
includes the international institution like Asia Institute of Technology(AIT),
and various countries with weak networking facility such as Cambodia, Vietnam,
and so on. China-Window will also be housed here. See Appendix 2 for the
complete list.
We agreed on the URLs for the main pavilion for each region/country as follows;
http://expo.{org, or, }.[country code]
Many countries and regions do not have proper bandwidth for their international
links, and we decided for Japan and Korea to mirror these regions using the
similar scheme to the central park mirroring.
Japan is proposing the satellite links with 1~2 Mbps among Asian countries,
called AI3. The links would be ready by July and can be utilized as the
additional infrastructure for the Internet Exposition.
We looked into the joint event for Asian countries, and decided to work on
Budda's Birthday ceremonies in May. Temples in various regions in Asia
celebrate the ceremonies, and we will record the ceremonies to be housed in
the pavilion. The birthday is 5.31 in Southeast Asia(Thailand, Cambodia, Laos,
....), and 5.24 in Lunar Calendar(China, Korea,..). Korea decided to coordinate
the effort.
We may meet again at AIT in Bangkok around May 10 if necessary. AI3 Project
tentatively decided to meet on May 10 at AIT.
For further discussion and information exchange, we are setting up the mailing
list (until the end of this year) as follows;
you can request listserv or majordomo at apng.org to join the mailing list.

BTW, in Singapore from 21 May to 27th May 1996 for the World Expo
we are attempting to do a Mobile Wheelathon Website on Internet.
Dr William Tan, an Ultrawheelathoner, will wheel his wheelchair from
Singapore to Penang (over Seven days about 500miles) in Malaysia.
He will be accompanied by a team of cyclists and doctors.
This effort is to raise money for the POWER programme (a rehabilitation
programme for people on wheelchairs) by the Tan Tock Seng Hospital in
Singapore.
The Internet Resarch and Development Unit (IRDU) will assemble a
Mobile TechTeam (including an Internet person who is also on wheelchair) to
cover this event along the journey. They will film the whole event, digitise
interviews, pictures, stories written by Dr Willim Tan and his team,
set up a Mobile Website, transmit the data over the Internet to IRDU
and even do a CyberInterview. The Singapore World Expo pavilion and
Mr Carl Malamud is recognising this event which we hope will go smoothly.
Over in Singapore, we have arranged for children from the Hearing Impaired
school, and youths from the Singapore Association for the Deaf to
conduct an online interview/chat session with Dr William Tan while
he is en route to Penang on his wheelchair.
More information will be made available by
Mr John Koh (axewolf@singnet.com.sg) Mobile Team
Mr Eugene Soh (eugene@biomed.nus.sg) Mobile Team (wheelchair)
Mr Rudi Wong (rudi@irdu.nus.sg) IRDU Home base
Mr Gary Ng (gary@irdu.nus.sg) IRDU Home base
There will be several websites, including http://www.ttsh.gov.sg/power
and http://irdu.nus.sg/ and http://www.tcs.com.sg
and the mobile website (not in operation yet)
We hope to demonstrate that disabled people can also do great things
on the Internet.
